Just Luna

Kitsune

Authoress’ Note: I don’t really have much to say, but enjoy! - The Wolf Cat Lover

It wasn’t a secret that she was different, so why was he here? Luna narrowed her eyes, looking sideways at the boy. No one usually came close, this was a first... Her mind was racing as she continued staring. She shook her head, this was rude, but still - this was a strange occurance and Luna didn’t want to miss a second of it.

“I’ve noticed you before, you’re always alone - why is that?” The boy’s inquisitive eyes met hers. Eyes wide, Luna backed away in realization - he’s mocking me! He probably knows that I’m the phoenix and the wolf and is making fun of me! She wrinkled her nose in disgust and turned away, however the boy persisted.

“Hey! What’s the matter? Did I do something wrong?” His voice laced with a concerned tone. He’s really pushing it or he’s extremely dense... Luna decided to experiment with the latter.

“No nothing’s wrong, though I’m surprised you don’t know me-” She added under her breath: “most of the kingdom does.”

“Well I’m happy I do now! I’m Kitsune Aijma, the fox. Who’re you?” He asked, all the while grinning like a fool for no apparent reason. What a dork, thought Luna, but he was the first person to openly approach her and she wasn’t going to let this chance go.

“I’m Luna Sohma, the phoenix and-” Suddenly Kitsune lept up, his eyes wide with excitement.

"That means we're friends, right? Because the phoenix and the fox have always gotten along, which means we're meant to get along too!" Luna winced at the word 'meant'. The problem with Agna was that its people lived accordingly to what their ancestors and deities had done. Luna decided to risk her potential friendship.

"Is that all? We're friends because the original fox and phoenix were? What if I were the wolf? Would you be friends with me then?" Kitsune's smile faltered.

"Well, I don't know..., but we don't need to worry about that because you aren't the wolf, you're the phoenix!" He said, instantly brightening. Luna stared, the tears threatening to spill. As much as she hated to admit it, she would rather have no friends than friendship set upon false and superficial  identities. She wanted a friend who recognized her for who she was, rather than what she was.

"I'm sorry, Kitsune, but I just can't." She murmured, transforming into her phoenix form and flying away, crushing her hopes for finding someone who would see her as not the phoenix or the wolf, but just Luna.

Authoress' Note: This kind of makes me want to cry - that's pretty good when your writing induces emotion within yourself, so hooray for me! Also, a hooray for getting so many chapters up in such a short timespan! So this introduces a new character - Kitsune Aijma! He, as he said, is the fox (it's what his name literally means in Japanese!) He will play a pretty big role in this series of one-shots! Anyways, thanks for reading and review if you want! With love, The Wolf Cat Lover
